That’s a perfect description.
All I have left from the 2000 CdP vintage is one bottle of Charvin. Regarding older VT’s, I still have a few '98s and '01s. I don’t open these often, but when they’re on, they can be special.
Had a 2000 Mon Aieul yesterday. It was killing, barnyard nose, dense red fruit brambles, everything I associate with aged grenache. I think 2000 is in a near perfect place in CdP.
